Lincoln's Administration and the attack on Fort Sumter[from the New York Daily News.] We have a response from Mr. Harvey, at Lisbon, relative to the charge of his being in communication with the leaders of the South Carolina forces, just before the attack on Fort Sumter. As we supposed, he was acting in this matter under the direction of the Administration, and the epithets which were launched at Mr. Harvey, without stint or measure, were in reality due to his superiors in the councils of the party to which he belonged. We may smile a little at the credulity and Quixotism of Mr. Harvey when he says, "It is perfectly true, as well as understood by my friends, that I labored zealously, constantly and honestly, down to the last hour, to avert the collision at Fort Sumter. I had good reason to hope that it might be prevented, and adopted the best means to attain this end." A simplicity so charming with reference to the best mode to prevent a collision at Fort Sumter is nat

ornament than use, expresses great concern for the preservation of the tomb of Washington and the surrounding grounds, from desecration.--He has the assurance to say that "Mount Vernon has already been overrun by bands of rebels, who, having trampled under foot the Constitution of the United States--the ark of our freedom and prosperity — are prepared to trample on the ashes of him to whom we are all mainly indebted for these mighty blessings." This is cool in the Lieutenant General of Lincoln, who has confessedly trampled the U.S. Constitution under foot himself a dozen times, and converted the " freedom and prosperity" of which it is an "ark," into a military despotism and universal bankruptcy.--But when the metaphorical Scott attempts to convey the impression that the "bands of rebels" have injured the property at Mount Vernon, and are prepared to "trample on the ashes" of George Washington, he rises to a pitch of malignant mendacity that ought at once to recommend him — now

near the clavicle or collar-bone. He has suffered but little pain, has been cheerful at all times, and the wound has done better than usual, although his escape is to the writer a miracle. This gallant and accomplished officer bore a conspicuous part in the ever-memorable battle of Bull Run on the 21st July. He may be termed the Brucher in that glorious victory for the South. He commanded Elzy's brigade, which was the first to turn the tide of battle in our favor, causing the minions of Lincoln's invading forces to retreat like hares before our gallant army. The General was wounded when in the act of turning the enemy's right wing, which was endeavoring to flank us on our left, and just as he was giving the order by a rapid march to cut off and take as prisoners several thousand of the enemy. The God of Battles, who smiled upon us on that memorable occasion, has spared this noble and chivalric son of the South for future brilliant achievements in behalf of the great principles o

he following article was submitted, as a proof sheet, to Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet; that a proclamation, in conformity withort, then he acted out his part fully in aiding to place Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet exactly where they were, and to compel tnd fanaticism and and ambition I know the fact from Mr. Lincoln's most intimate friend and accredited agent, Mr. Ladon, 's disgraceful expedition was gotten up, in concert with Mr. Lincoln, merely to delude the Northern public into the belief thted in regard to Fort Sumter was intended and desired by Mr. Lincoln and his advisers to lead to a war, not to be regulated bs which most vividly prove the unhallowed purposes of President Lincoln and his advisers. One of the chief ends of the argued, and very elaborately, too, that the purpose of President Lincoln was to "preserve peace"--not to "make war"--"to proteonstitution" and broken its laws. It is averted that President Lincoln could not suppress the "tears" of anguish which his s

n in this nation is more deeply impressed with the paramount importance of so doing than is Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States. He feels and recognizes his duty in the premises, but in the power of the Republican Administration to relieve and reinforce it. Of course, Abraham Lincoln could know nothing of this treason; and when in his inaugural he spoke of occupying the pubd treason. And we are assured, too, and do not doubt the truth of the assurance, that when Abraham Lincoln was compelled to yield his reluctant consent to this most humiliating concession to successs many of their masters been driven into the ocean to expiate their crimes on earth. But Mr. Lincoln desired to rouse no such feeling of revenge among the people of the Free States. He knew — nwe approve the act. A traitor President rendered it a necessity; and humanity demanded that Abraham Lincoln should sacrifice all personal feelings, and gracefully yield to that necessity and the deli

y, now with General Banks, tried the range and accuracy of his rifled siege-guns the other day, and found the "range almost interminable and their accuracy astonishing." Detachments of Yankees are daily detailed to work on the railroad and bridge at Harper's Ferry. According to their own accounts, it will shortly be passable; but their accounts, are seldom, if ever, worthy of belief. The New York World (abolition) represents that recruiting goes on slowly in that city and State. Lincoln may yet have to resort to a draft to fill up his army, which will cause a stampede of Yankees to the remote corners of the earth. The new eleven regiments had not, at last accounts, a full company apiece. The New York Times is complimentary to Harry Magraw, now a prisoner in Virginia. It says: "If the rebels will only hold on to him it will be a saving to the United States. He is one of the Pennsylvania soldiers of fortune, who engineered the swindling beef contract, and who has had

Privateersmen and prisoners of war. --The New York Times comments as follows upon the letter from President Davis to Abraham Lincoln, relative to the fate of our privateersmen now in the hands of the enemy: Davis, unfortunately, has it in his power to make this threat effective. He has in his hands a very large number of our prisoners, and will unquestionably retaliate upon them whatever treatment we may extend to these privateers. President Lincoln, in his proclamation, has announPresident Lincoln, in his proclamation, has announced his purpose to treat all who may accept letters of marque and reprisal from the Confederate Government as pirates, and the general sentiment of the public would unquestionably sustain him in so doing. It cannot be concealed, however, that the current of events may render it necessary to act with caution in this matter, and not take a position which may augment greatly the horrors — great enough at best — of this civil war. By taking and holding prisoners at all, it would seem to be re
